St Giles Hospice is calling on the local community to get involved in its annual Jolly Jumper Day on Wednesday, December 16, bringing festive fun to workplaces, schools and homes while raising vital funds for local hospice care. 

With a suggested donation of £3 per person taking part, everyone is encouraged to get involved, whether that’s by wearing a colourful Christmas jumper or going all out in a festive outfit. 

Every donation raised through Jolly Jumper Day will help St Giles continue supporting local people, and their loved ones, living with a terminal illness. 

Georgia Haynes, Partnerships Manager at St Giles, said: “We’d love to see our local community come together for Jolly Jumper Day this December. It is such a simple and enjoyable way to have fun with friends, family, colleagues or classmates while raising vital funds to support local hospice care. 

“We’re encouraging everyone to get involved. Whether you’re taking part with a team of colleagues, a classroom of children or simply gathering your family together, every festive jumper worn and every donation made will help make a difference to local people and their loved ones.” 

Taking part in Jolly Jumper Day couldn’t be easier. Simply register your interest through the St Giles Hospice website and start planning your festive fundraiser. Whatever day you choose to take part, your donations will help fund vital care for local people, and their loved ones, living with a terminal illness.
